HUMANOID ANIMATION 

Web3D X3D HAnimHumanoid
(HOMO ANIMATIO INFORMATICUS)

Our HAnim character can be a true 
interaction-driven information machine 
of both a personal nature to acquire, store, 
and maintain temporal data requested by 
the author, and for integration as a fully 
parameterized character functioning 
under author control or autonomously in any 
augmented data-driven virtual environment. 

For x3d HAnim this is accomplished by 
establishing a realistic Joint-based skeleton that 
can include x3d styles of indexed geometry as a 
partial or continuous mesh skeleton-actuated 
deformable skin. This forms the basis for locating 
any x3d geometry and sensors for various 
standard and user-defined external, surface, 
and internal feature points related to the 
skeleton or skin. 
Additionally, scalar-driven mesh actuators 
can independently and as collections move 
individual or collections of points of any 
indexed geometry of the Humanoid.
In short, although the HAnimHumanoid 
defines certain specific nodes, fields, and 
hierarchies for the Humanoid application, 
it is pure X3D. 
In fact, I see that the entire purpose of everything 
you have learned about VRML and X3D is to 
produce this realistic very transportable humanoid 
character operating with or without other 
compatible characters along with user(s) in 
stimulus/response time and event-driven scene 
augmented virtual environments.
Thus, at the basis, it can deliver the extensible character 
built to operate as a virtual humanoid in this web of 
information systems that can serve in our metaverse 
with trust and security. 

But that is past, present, and future evolution and 
Extension of x3d and HAnim. For now,  let's think 
about how we use the HAnim standardized 
Humanoid skeleton as a base to implement 
the character model.

Thanks,
